This book was definitely steamy but it was also sweet at the same time. Elle’s friend Christine hires an escort for her to be her “date” for Christine’s wedding. The deal is that Nic can’t tell Elle what he really does for a living. Nic is a popular escort at the male escort business called Allure. Christine just pays for the basic package. She doesn’t want Nic to try to bed Elle or to chase her. When Nic sees a picture of Elle, he is interested in her looks. When he meets her in person, he really likes what he sees. He loves the curves that Elle has. Elle’s ex only complained about her curves and at the wedding, tries to put her down. Nic comes to her defense and manages to get him to leave. Elle really likes Nic and keeps trying to throw hints at him that she wanted him to kiss her. Nic has his own set of rules and the main one was that he never kisses a client. He wants to save his kisses for the woman he is going to spend his life with. However, Elle tempts him in so many ways to break his own rules but he manages to stay strong. When he goes to take her home, he ends up breaking his rule and kisses her. Elle is convinced that she will be getting him in her bed. Nic is torn because he feels bad about what he does for a living and he doesn’t want to lead her on. Things don’t work out the way Elle planned but she can’t get him out of her head. They start spending time with each other and the more time spent together, the more Nic enjoys his time with her. He doesn’t know what he wants to about his job and Elle so he tries to withdraw. He is afraid of how Elle will react if she finds out about his real job. When Elle does find out, she is devasted and feels like a fool. What Nic ends up doing regarding Elle was very sweet, he just hopes it is enough to prove to her that he really does love her.

What a cute, sexy story from Kendall Ryan! Nic and Elle are everything!! Kendall can write the swooniest of characters that have you unable to stop reading until the end! HEA’s are Kendall’s specialty and this one will not disappoint!! Love it!
Kendall Ryan has a way with writing her male lead characters in such a way that they’re so freakin’ scrumptious you might wish they were real, and Nic is no exception! Granted, his career isn’t one to get excited and happy about, but hey, you know what you’re in for once you become a client, and he’s never left a client unsatisfied. He also never thought about real feelings becoming an issue, till he meets his newest, unsuspecting client Elle. The chemistry between them is fantastic, but also so is the dialogue between them. Of course with his current choice of career, he knows it wouldn’t work between he and Elle, yet no matter how much he tries to avoid her, the more that tactic seems to fail. As much as I was loving this book, my heart was pounding because I didn’t want to read the fallout when Elle learned the truth about Nic, yet I wanted to see how it would all come together for them. Plenty of humor and definitely a few emotional moments in this story, and I loved every page of it!
fun read
What’s not to love! Such a great love story! Could the escort find true love? What about the heart broken woman who just wants to move past her rotten Ex? The story of Nic and Elle is a roller-coaster of feels, loved every word!

Loved this book. The characters were fantastic and had heart and depth. The storyline is a bit different than my normal reads but Kendall Ryan is a must read author for me so I knew it was going to be great, I was not disappointed. I can always count on Kendall Ryan to deliver swoon worthy books that entertain and leave me waiting for what she writes next!
It’s been some time since Kendall Ryan’s romances have had a but of drama. Generally filled with light hearted romance, her stories are quick afternoon walks through HEAs. Boyfriend for Hire is no different except it holds a note of mystery and “what if” when our hero harbors a secret from the heroine. Hired by her new sister-in-law as a date, Nic is enraptured from the moment he meets Elle. Sweet and caring, he falls for her silly nature and killer curves in just one weekend. But when Elle wants to take it beyond their wedding date night, Nic has a hard time separating work from love. But each moment he spends with Elle brings them closer and closer and the truth is getting harder to reveal. Nic is terrified that Elle can never accept his past and the reason they met in the first place.
Elle is head over heels with Nic despite that fact that he seems to be holding something back. After a lovely night with him and her brother’s wedding, she’s convinced there’s something more there. As they spend more time together, she’s convinced he’s a romance hero come to life. Sweet, charming, and always prepared to take care of her. But every time they get close he backs off; never kissing her, then never letting her touch him. But once the clothes come off, the chemistry explodes. Not only do these two support each other, they’ve got bedroom skills like pros (hint hint). But a cataclysmic reveal threatens all the work they’ve put in to one another.
I was on the edge of my seat this entire novel! I wanted to know more about Nic and his….bedroom prowess; but beyond that the idea of male escorts is just this side of taboo and naughty. I couldn’t figure out just how Elle would find out Nic’s secret and Kendall couldn’t have surprised me more. I wanted these two to have that HEA so badly and I wasn’t sure how they would navigate the truth. Layered and complex, this romance had be gripping my kindle wondering what would come next: a kiss or the truth? Add this to your TBR if you love HEAs with just a touch of drama to keep you guessing!
This was such a fun story that I devoured in one sitting!!
Sweet, romantic, and sexy with chemistry that you could feel, Nic and Elle totally stole my heart. Boyfriend for Hire was a quick read with little drama and a lots of steam. I’m addicted to this series, that’s not really a series, and I can not wait to the next book!!

I really enjoyed Elle & Nic’s story! I thought it was great that we got to see Nic struggle with how he wanted to change his life after meeting Elle. I was a little nervous when the truth was bound to come out, but in true Kendall Ryan fashion, she made up for all my nerves.
What do you do when you need a date to show up your ex……. get the most sought after male escort to be your date.
I knew that this was going to be a steamy enjoyable read when I saw Nic was a male escort. Not only was he easy on the eyes but he was sweet and seductive too. Honestly Elle didn’t stand a chance.
Surprising to Nic was his attraction and need for more than business with Elle. Closed off emotionally by his job when he meets Elle he finds that there is more feelings simmering beneath the surface.
So what more can I say……Kendall gives us all of our favorite things in this book, sparks, chemistry, characters you can fall in love with and another book to add to your bookshelf. Go #1click
I absolutely loved Boyfriend for Hire by Kendall Ryan. It was unexpected, fun and so worth reading. I know our hero being a male escort may throw some off, but let me tell you, Kendall Ryan pulls this story off in all the very best ways possible! A must-read for sure.
Nic is an amazing hero. He has spent years as a male escort. A very good one. He has never had any interest in his clients or in a serious relationship. Then he meets Elle. Elle was recently dumped, and her ex and his new girlfriend will be at her brother’s wedding. So, her friend sets her up with Nic, without her knowledge of his background. She believes it’s a blind date. When they meet, their chemistry is off the charts right from the start.
I devoured Boyfriend for Hire by Kendall Ryan. It was such a charming, adorable and romantic read with all the best feels. I loved the characters so much. Nic was not only sexy and charming, but sweet and caring. Elle has a big heart and is very likeable. This is a great light and enchanting read and one I highly recommend.
4.5-stars. Loved it! Happy reading!
I love Kendall Ryan’s writing. This book is no exception. I liked the concept and the execution was great. The characters were likable and I found myself rooting for them.
Elle is trying to get over her stupid ex but having to spend a weekend with him and his new bimbo at her brother’s wedding isn’t helping. Insert her close friend and her plan to help Elle out by hiring Nic to be her date, but here is the catch Elle has no clue Nic was hired to do a job. I hate how down Elle was about herself because of someone else’s opinion but I love how she started to find herself and her worth throughout the book. Nic definitely helped with that but it came from within Elle.
Nic is really good at his job and he knows it. He has been an escort for 6 years and has made a name for himself around Chicago. I loved that even being an escort you could see his heart, it wasn’t all about sex. Nic’s conflict after meeting Elle was real. How does one give up everything he knows for someone he has just met? I felt bad for him but I loved how he was able to figure himself out and go after what he wanted.
This was a quick read that was well written with great characters. It also leads you into the next book which will be about Case and his best friend’s little sister.
I haven’t read a male escort romance story in quite some time, and while they can be hit or miss for me based on the personality of the hero as well as the reasons behind his chosen profession, knowing Kendall Ryan’s writing style and the way she crafts her characters and her story lines, I was confident that Boyfriend For Hire was going to be a sweet, steamy, and feel good read with an abundance of chemistry between the main characters and a few revelations along the way to keep readers and the characters themselves on their toes, and that’s exactly the story Ryan told.
The circumstances that bring Nick and Elle together and the setting in which these two meet don’t seem very conducive for a first date of sorts between a male escort and the person who hired him, but that’s because Elle is not the woman who does the hiring nor does she have any idea what Nick’s profession is, which is definitely going to be a point of contention once these two begin to feel like their pretend relationship just might have a chance to be real and the fallout from Nick being paid to be Elle’s plus-one could end their connection before it ever really has a chance to grow.
Nick is way more than the stereotypical male escort and the fact that he gets to be just Nick with Elle for a whole weekend makes him reevaluate his chosen lifestyle and think about what things would be like if Elle was his real girlfriend instead of his fake one. I really enjoyed getting to know the real Nick, not the persona he has for his clients; he’s funny and easy going, and while he definitely knows how to woo women due to his particular skillset, it’s more than obvious that Elle brings out a side of him that has rarely surfaced since he began as an escort all those years ago.
Elle is my kind of quirky heroine, and the fact that she’s intelligent, genuine, and hilarious makes her everything that Nick never knew he wanted. She’s like a breath of fresh air to Nick because he knows that she’s the real deal and while a lot of that is due to her not knowing he was paid to be her date, most of it is because that’s just who she is, so it’s easy to understand why Nick would be attracted to Elle in a way that he’s never been with another client and it’s also the reason that everything gets significantly more complicated when Nick wants a real shot at a relationship with her.
I always know that when I dive into a Kendall Ryan romance that I’m going to get a great blend of steam, snark, and humor in a fast-paced and well-rounded story and that’s exactly what she gives readers in Boyfriend For Hire.
4 Poison Apples
Boyfriend for Hire may seem like an unconventional story, believe me it is, but you won’t be able to stop falling for Nic. Yes he is a male escort and he loves what he does. Never interested in anything more that life offers. Until Elle. I love the angst you get with this book. Elle is a great heroine and makes Nic really work for it – can he make Elle fall for him? Can a true love story come out of what started as a lie? Only time will tell! This book made my stomach flutter with the hot and heavy scenes. I did love the ending and will add Boyfriend for Hire to my reread pile!
If you have wondered what it would be like when a Man of the Night falls and falls hard, this is the story for you! When Elle’s friend hires him as her unknown escort to her wedding, he figures it will be a easy assignment. That’s until she completely blows his mind and changes his whole outlook. Elle cannot believe her luck. She was dreading this wedding, where her ex would inevitable be flaunting his new goddess. Nic turns out to be the exactly the distraction she was hoping for. Can they survive what he used to be get to where he wants to be.
